GlossGenius is a polished booking and payments platform for beauty and wellness pros, with a custom booking website and strong card payment tools. Nabbee is a booking app for independent shops, built Philippines first, with deposits that land in your own GCash or Maya.

- You want your appointment history moved over for you from another system.
Nabbee fits better when

- You want deposits to land in your own wallet with no payout schedule.
- You want someone to build your booking page for you and a real person to message after.
A fair note on GlossGenius
Many beauty pros are happy on GlossGenius, and this page is not here to argue otherwise. The main reason to look elsewhere is fit: its plans and payments are priced in US dollars around card payments, and its pricing page does not list the wallets most Philippine clients use.
Deposits without a card reader
In the Philippines, a deposit usually means a GCash or Maya transfer. With Nabbee, clients see your wallet details on the booking page, pay you directly, and upload proof. You can ask for no deposit, 20%, the full price, or a fixed amount, and confirm each payment in Payment review.
